Record Notes 

A heavy snow-storm the day before foretold slight 
chance of starting north on the morrow. But Wednes- 
day morning the sky was clear, and the party was early 
at the Eastern Railroad Station, well equipped with a 
liberal supply of warm clothing and extra wraps, in 
compliance with the words of warning sent out by the 
Committee. 

Being comfortably settled in a private car, furnished 
by the Railroad Company, the party was in a mood to 
enjoy the novelty of the trip, and after passing Wolfe- 
boro Junction, to watch with interest for Mount Cho- 
corua, the first of the line of snowy peaks, then Moat, 
Kearsarge and Bartlett ; how different the view from the 
familiar summer landscape! 

The trip passed all too quickly, and in good time 
the party was landed, bags, bundles, rugs and wraps, at 



f 









1 



the quiet Glen Station, and received a hearty welcome 
from Mr. Wentworth. 

A logging team that had been transformed into a 
capacious sleigh was rapidly filled, and the enjoyment 
of a real country sleigh-ride was soon a reality. The 
reception at Arden Cottage, with fires blazing in the two 
huge, open fireplaces, followed by an acceptable call to 
the cheerful dining-room, formed a fitting close to the 
first day's experiences. 

The comforts of Arden Cottage, with its open fire- 
places in the main rooms and cosy little "air- tights" 
distributed here and there in the chambers, made the 
time spent within doors most enjoyable. 

On Thursday a trip through Crawford Notch furnished 
an opportunity to marvel at the seasonable aspect on 
every side. The mountains were very different from 
those of summer as they frowned darkly across the 
desolate valley; bare forests covered their sides, with 
here and there patches of pure snow. The ice effects in 
fantastic form made a novel decoration of the rocky 
slopes. 

A sleigh-ride with a picnic dinner at the country 
hotel at Conway Corner — the novelty of coasting on a 
pung down the rugged hillside by moonlight, and an 
evening tramp to the summer-house on Sunset Hill for a 
view of Mount Washington, majestic in form, clear in 
outline, pure and white, glistening in the moonlight — 
each added a feature to the first winter excursion. 

An early start was made on Saturday to catch the 
morning train for Boston. The morning was clear and 
cold; at a bend in the road Mount Washington came in 
view, its tip tinged with the faintest suspicion of rose, 
which deepened and crept down the white sides as the 

6 



r 








train started from the station. The experience of that 
morning was worth the whole journey. 

It has been stated that one pair of snow-shoes 
formed the outfit of the entire party, and that during 
the stay two of the men succeeded in making the difficult 
ascent of Thorn Mountain. 

An interesting account of this excursion, by Mr. 
John Ritchie, Jr., will be found in Appalachia, Vol. 3, 
page 40, from which the above is in part selected.

Professor W. H. Pickering's record is as follows: 

On the morning of January 18, 1883, a party of 
twenty-three left Boston for Jackson, N. H. Splendid 
weather, but windy. 

January 19 — Train to Fabyan's and return. 

January 20 — Drive to Jericho in the morning in a 
slight snow-storm. To Goodrich Falls in the afternoon. 

January 21 — Climbed up brook above the falls on 
snow-shoes in the morning. Drove to North Conway in 
the afternoon. 

January 22 — Started about ten o'clock and drove 
to Glen. Thermometer 9 when we started and 2° at 
Glen; returned in the late afternoon. Candy-pull in 
evening. 

January 23 — Left Jackson at 6, A.M., for Boston. 
It was quite dark, and we drove to the station by the 
full moon and starlight.

Record Notes 

The party seems to have been well equipped with 
snow-shoes and to have spent a fair amount of the time 
exploring the country round about on snow-shoes, the 
snow being quite deep, with about one foot of light snow 
on top. The ladies of the party seem to have taken the 
most interest in the sleigh-rides. 

The event of the trip was an attempted ascent of 
Mount Adams on Saturday, January 26. Messrs. 
Bullock, Clarke, Pickering and Scudder, with Hunt and 
Watson as guides, started about 7.30 A.M., with the 
temperature about zero, clear weather, wind fifteen to 
twenty miles per hour. For Mr. Scudder's very com- 
plete account of this trip, see Appalachia, Vol. 3, page

FORMATION OF THE SNOW-SHOE SECTION 

A meeting of members of the Club interested in 
snow-shoeing was held December 10, 1886, the result of 
which was the formation of a Section. 

By-laws were adopted at this meeting and action 
was taken requesting recognition of the Section by the 
Council of the Club. The annual meeting was held on 
January 14, 1887, at which the officers of the Section 
were chosen, namely: Chairman, Rosewell B. Lawrence; 
Secretary-treasurer, John Ritchie, Jr. 

During the winter of 1886-7 two successful meets 
were carried out; three others which were contemplated 
lacked the very necessary element, snow. 

The second annual meeting was held January 6, 
1888, the same officers being elected for the ensuing 
year. 

The Section numbered forty-six members, of whom 
twenty-six were provided with snow-shoes. See Appa- 
lachia, Vol. V, page 232.

lodged by Mr. Gale, about twenty wood stoves being 
distributed through the house and kept going night and 
day. 

Trips were made to Mount Double Head, Carter 
Notch, Mount Sable, Mount Willard, Black Mountain 
and Thorn Mountain, and to a logging-camp at the foot 
of Mount Wildcat^ Two of the party on the Carter 
Notch excursion went over into the Pinkham Notch 
and attempted the ascent of Mount Washington, going 
as far as the Half-Way House. One of the party sub- 
sequently made the ascent from the Fabyan House, 
accompanied by the man in charge of the railroad station 
at the base of the mountain. 

The excursion to Mount Willard on February 22 
was particularly satisfactory. The day was brilliantly 
clear, and the appearance of the mountains covered 
with snow was in marked contrast with their familiar 
aspect in summer. The view of the summit of Mount 
Washington, as seen through the valley of the Mount 
Washington River on the return by railroad through the 
Notch, snow-covered and tinged with the rosy light of 
sunset, made a picture never to be forgotten.

Record Notes 

The first winter excursion to Bartlett, N. H.: 

During the first week the weather was very cold 
and dry, and the snow about three feet deep, conditions 
most favorable for snow-shoe tramps. 

An ascent was made to the summit of Mount 
Willard on the twenty-second. 

On the twenty-third an all-day tramp was taken 
up the Mount Washington River Valley. 

An ascent was made to the summit of Mount 
Carrigan on the twenty-fourth, one woman being in the 
party that reached the summit. 

Ascents were made of Mount Langdon on the 
twenty-fifth, Mount Silver-Spring on the twenty-sixth, 
Mount Parker on the twenty-seventh, and Bear Moun- 
tain on the twenty-eighth.

Record Notes 

On February 19 forty-six members and friends went 
to Elliott's Hotel, in Waterville, N. H., and were later 
joined by others until the number reached fifty-one. 
Owing to an almost continuous snow-storm during 
the week at Waterville, the various trips up the moun- 
tains were not made by large parties, and no views were 
obtainable from the summits. Nevertheless all the 
available time for snow-shoeing was well used; parties 
visited the summits of Tecumseh, Osceola, Black Moun- 
tain (Sandwich Dome), and North Tripyramid; and 
after the main party had returned home, South Tri- 
pyramid was also ascended by eight persons. The 
shoeing on four feet of snow was excellent, and was 
greatly enjoyed by all. 

This was the famous excursion on which the party 
never saw the summits of the mountains after the day 
of its arrival, and then it was snowing a little. After 
the third or fourth day of continued storm a notice ap- 
peared on the bulletin: "The author of 'Beautiful 
Snow' will be hung in effigy this noon."

Record Notes 

The party left Boston on Saturday, February 18, 
for the Iron Mountain House in Jackson, N. H., and 
returned February 27. 

During the ten days many trips were taken, large 
parties making the ascent of Thorn Mountain and 
Mount Willard and smaller ones going to Giant Stairs, 
Iron Mountain, North Double Head and Carter Notch 
and Dome. Some thirty climbed into Tuckerman's 
Ravine as far as Hermit Lake, and seven on the same 
day reached the top of the head wall, walking up a 
steep incline of snow which reached far out into the 
ravine. Later in the week two different parties of 
three and two respectively, made the ascent of Mount 
Washington. 

The sleighing parties went to Bartlett, Prospect 
Farm and to Dundee. 

The party numbered eighty, the largest of an ever- 
increasing series, contrasting strongly with the first 
snow-shoe parties to Jackson, which numbered eight 
and eleven respectively.

Record Notes 

The Iron Mountain House in Jackson was again 
the headquarters of the party, which numbered one 
hundred and fourteen. 

Excursions were made to the summit of Thorn 
Mountain, to the Wigglesworth Ledges, a number of 
times to the Morrison Cottage, and twice to the summit 
of Black Mountain. 

A large company visited the lumber camps in Per- 
kins Notch, and a smaller one went into Carter Notch, 
but on account of getting off the trail on the Dome, 
failed to reach the summit. 

An over-night party slept in Bald Mountain camp, 
its members making an ascent of North Bald Face. 

One day was devoted to Iron Mountain, the return 
being made by a direct line over the various summits of 
the range. 

Twenty-one climbed to the summit of Spruce 
Mountain, and forty-three visited Tuckerman's Ravine. 
Ten went into Huntington's Ravine, two ascending the 
head wall. 

Fifty-four climbed Clinton, and two parties on 
different days walked up Willard. 

The summit of Mount Washington was gained by a 
number of small parties, aggregating nine ; four ascended 
the carriage road, three climbed up through Tucker- 
man's Ravine, going down to Fabyan's, while two left 
the Ravine House and, making the summits of the 
northern part of the range, also descended to Fabyan's.

Record Notes 

The Iron Mountain House in Jackson, N. H., was, 
for the fifth time, the headquarters of the Club, one 
hundred and twenty-four members and friends making 
up the party. 

Saturday — Seventy-five left Boston for Jackson. 

Sunday — Thorn Mountain was climbed, as usual, 
in the forenoon; the snow being deeper than usual, with 
a hard crust on top. 

Monday — It snowed all day, and most of the party 
spent the day at Morrison Cottage. 

Tuesday — The snow continued to a depth of about 
twelve inches. Small parties spent the day at Goodrich 
Falls and around camp-fires in the woods. 

Wednesday — The weather being fair, the main 
party made the ascent of Mount Kearsarge; shoeing was 
good, but the wind was high, and it was very cold on the 
summit. A party of men, with Howard as guide, made 
an early start for Carter Notch and Dome. By frequent 
changes of those breaking, Carter Notch was reached by 
early noontime, and owing to the favorable snow con- 
ditions, the summit of the Dome was reached in good 
time. The weather was cold and clear, with little wind, 
a marked contrast to the conditions experienced by the 
main party on Kearsarge. 

Thursday — Cloudy, 14 below zero. The day was 
spent in short walks by the main party. Four men 
made an early start for Carter Dome, following the trail 
made on the day previous. 

Friday — Fair weather. The main party made an 
all-day trip to the logging-camp in Perkins' Notch. A 
small party made the ascent of Mount Washington via 
Huntington's Ravine and down by the Carriage Road. 
Owing to the heavy snow early in the winter, the logging 



}i 



r 




%al 



company had constructed a well-built snow road of 
good width and uniform grade, some miles in length, 
which was kept clear of new snow, smooth, and in fine 
condition by section men. A very unusual and inter- 
esting piece of road. 

Saturday — Party of eighty went to Crawford Notch ; 
the main party climbed Mounts Webster and Jackson, 
with good shoeing. 

Sunday — Cloudy. The party climbed Iron Moun- 
tain, returning over the summits to the hotel. 

Monday — Fair and soft. The main party spent 
the day on Black Mountain. A small party went to 
Tuckerman's Ravine and ascended the head wall. A 
party of eight (including two women) made a start for 
a first winter ascent of Mount Wildcat, entered the 
woods by the Notch trail, and soon leaving the trail, 
ascended by the steep, thickly-wooded southeast slope 
of the main summit. The snow-shoeing was good and 
the snow very deep on the wooded summit. The de- 
scent into Carter Notch was made by a continuous 
slide down the bed of the brook, (a fall of about 1,000 
feet) ; the snow conditions being favorable, this was an 
interesting feature. 

Tuesday — Party returned to Boston.

Record Notes 

A party of ninety-nine left Boston on Saturday, 
February 20, for Jackson, N. H. There were in all one 
hundred and nine persons on this excursion. 

46 








Sunday — Eighty ascended Thorn Mountain in the 
forenoon, and a few walked to Goodrich Falls in the 
afternoon. 

Monday — The twenty-second, being rainy, was 
spent about the hotel, enjoying in and out-of-doors 
sports, making snow statues, etc. 

Tuesday — Snow. Forty-three ascended Iron Moun- 
tain, and seventeen Eagle Mountain. In the afternoon 
a party of fourteen men took the afternoon train for 
Crawford; two returned, and the remaining twelve con- 
tinued on by the State Road to Ammonoosuc, where the 
night was spent. 

Wednesday — Being cloudy, was spent by the main 
party at Morrison Cottage, a small party going over 
Tin Mountain. The Mount Washington party of 
twelve left Ammonoosuc about 7 A.M., followed a 
trail along the railroad, reaching the summit in a mist 
cloud, where a stop was made for lunch. The descent 
was made by the Carriage Road to Glen House Cottage, 
where sleighs were taken for Jackson. 

Thursday — Cloudy and windy. Fifty-nine climbed 
Mount Double Head for an all-day trip. 

Friday — Twenty-nine started for Mount Wildcat 
and Prospect Farm in a light snow-storm. This was the 
first winter ascent of the west peak of Mount Wildcat. 
A stop was made for lunch just below the summit, and 
on account of continued snow-squalls only a small 
number continued on, but these were well paid for their 
trouble. Just as the party finished the last steep rise 
and came out on a rocky ledge on the west peak, the 
squall passed, opening up a grand view of the eastern 
slope of Mount Washington, with its many rugged 
ravines, just across the valley. It was evident that a 
new view-point of much interest had been discovered.

went to the summit of Mount Clinton, and of these,

Pleasant. Four went up Mount Avalon and seventeen 
up Mount Willard. 

Sunday — Rain and snow. Short walks were taken 
by main party, and a small party went up the Rocky

quarters at the Mount Madison House. 

The first day trip was to Pine Mountain, and one 
day was spent at the Barrett Camp.

On the twenty-fourth the main party went by sleighs 
to the Glen, and walked up Nineteen-Mile Brook to 
the Club Camp in Carter Notch. Three of the party 
walked up the Carriage Road to the Half-Way House, 
and returning, stopped over night at Glen House Cot- 
tage, for the purpose of ascending Mount Washington 
on the morrow. 

On the twenty-fifth the main party took the train 
for Appalachia Station, with Mount Madison Spring 
Hut as the goal. The majority of the party reached 
Durand Ridge, but on account of the cold, high wind 
and ice-covered rocks, only eight of the party, including 
one woman, reached the hut. 

The Mount Washington party awoke at Glen 
Cottage with the thermometer i6° above zero in their 
rooms, and i6° below zero outside. An early start was 
made under favorable conditions, following the broken 
trail up the Carriage Road to the Half-Way House, 
which was reached by 9 A.M., where creepers were put 
on and a most enjoyable tramp continued over the un- 
broken wind-packed snow of the long northern slope, 
just above the head-wall of the Great Gulf. The summit 
was reached about noon, where everything was found 
coated with snow and frost-work, while the frost feathers 
on the low telegraph poles were of unusual dimensions, 
being fully three feet in length, of dull ivory color, and 
in outline very perfectly suggesting the "Winged Vic- 
tory." After lunch, under favorable weather conditions, 
the tramp was continued past Mount Clay, along the 
eastern slope of Mount Jefferson and past Mounts 
Adams and Madison, to the head of Snider's Brook, 
which was reached at 5, P.M., where creepers were 
changed for snow-shoes; continuing down the brook 
and out to the Ravine House, which was reached about

9 P.M. After a short rest a sleigh was taken for the 
Mount Madison House. More perfect conditions in 
every way for such a trip it would be hard to expect 
again. 

Trips were also taken during the week to Mount 
Surprise and to the Lookout on the slope of Mount 
Hayes. 

Late in the week a party of four men drove to the 
Glen House and started for Tuckerman's Ravine by 
way of the Carriage Road and the Raymond Path, but 
a snow-storm prevented their getting beyond Hermit 
Lake; the return was made by the path out by Crystal 
Cascades. The same day another small party of men 
continued on up the Carriage Road to the Half-Way 
House, where they turned back on account of bad 
weather. Thermometer was 23 below zero when the 
parties left the hotel in the morning. 

During the week another party of three men took a 
trip into the Great Gulf and ascended the head-wall to 
the summit of Mount Washington. An account of this 
trip will be found in Appalachia, Vol. 2, page 7.

numbered eighty-four members and 



The 
friends. 

Sunday — The usual ascent of Thorn Mountain was 
made in the forenoon; on account of prevailing snow- 
squalls the leaders, on the way down, lost their bearings 
until the east slope of Middle Mountain was reached, 
the hotel not being reached until a late dinner hour. In 
the afternoon a party climbed Duck's Head from the 
north side, enjoying slides on the way down the south 
side. 

Monday — Fifty-six participated in a camp-fire 
lunch on Iron Mountain, the return being made over 
the summits, and some not reaching the hotel until 
early evening. 

Tuesday — Several trips by small parties to near- 
by points.

Wednesday — Thirty-nine started for the west peak 
of Mount Wildcat; some returned by same trail, the 
remainder going on over to the eastern peak or summit, 
then down into Carter Notch. Some trouble was found 
in keeping to the trail out, and it being dark when the 
clearing was reached, additional difficulty was expe- 
rienced on account of the hard crust under foot and the 
prevailing high wind obscuring the trail with drifting 
snow. 

Thursday — Thirty-five spent the day on Black 
Mountain enjoying a camp-fire lunch. 

Friday — Twenty-four made the first winter ascent, 
by the Section, of Mounts Stanton-Pickering. 

Saturday — Sixteen made the ascent of Moat Moun- 
tain and experienced difficulties with the crust over the 
scrub growth on the upper slope. Another party made 
the ascent of Mount Double Head. 

During the week a party of four men started for 
Mount Washington through the Gulf of Slides, but 
failed to reach the summit. 

Another party of two men reached the summit, 
going down and out to Crawford.

(fV*J I 








owing to lack of snow and difficult going through the 
burnt wood. 

Wednesday twenty-two climbed Mount Kearsarge 
and twelve went up Black Mountain. This was the 
only stormy day of the trip, a rain setting in the latter 
part of the afternoon. 

Thursday was clear and bright, Mount Washing- 
ton being free from clouds by 9 A.M. On this day 
thirty drove in sleighs to the Logging Camp on the 
Glen Road, and a few walked to the Col on Thorn 
Mountain by way of Morrison Cottage. Another party

On Saturday twenty-one left the hotel at 6.45 A.M, 
for Tuckerman's Ravine. Five of the men continued 
on to Mount Washington via Huntington's Ravine; 
found mild weather on the summit at 3 P.M., and re- 
turned, by the Gulf of Slides, to the highway and back 
to Jackson. Nine persons ascended Iron Mountain on 
this day.

snow. At Jackson, on the southern slopes, in the open, 
there was much bare ground, while in the lower woods 
the snow was eighteen inches to two feet deep, and in 
the higher forests much more. On Mount Clinton four 
to five feet was found at random, with six to seven feet 
in the deeper drifts.

the snow on Duck's Head. 

Tuesday was cloudy, but a trip was made to Black 
Mountain, the party returning home by the long pas- 
ture on the western slope. No views were had of Wash- 
ington, but there were beautiful glimpses of Double 
Head through the storm. 

Wednesday a party ascended Wildcat, some of the 
members keeping on down the farther side to Glen Cot- 
tage, others going to Prospect Farm. 

Thursday was devoted to Iron Mountain. 

Friday, Washington's Birthday, was intensely cold, 
with a bitter wind sweeping from the bare and icy sum- 
mits through Crawford Notch, where we went by special 
train, to insure an appetite for the annual banquet in 
the evening. This was the coldest day experienced by 
members on any of the winter excursions, the thermom- 
eter keeping around zero all day, with a sharp, cutting 
wind driving particles of snow in all directions. All 
members of the party returned to the lower level by 
early afternoon. Three parties set out from the Notch 
station and entered the woods, beautiful in their im- 
maculate winter garb, the snow-shoes making the first 
breaks on the white surface, except where a fox or rab- 
bit or a deer had left the story of its wanderings. Clin- 
ton, Willard and Avalon were the peaks selected, and 
all were successful trips, the Avalon climb especially, 
for the dozen men and women who essayed that pretty 
little mountain found themselves, after a long and some- 
what arduous scramble up the very steep and slippery 
course of a brook that comes down a deep and narrow 
ravine, on the bleak summit of Mount Field. The day 
was bright, with an intensely blue sky, but very cold, 

63

m 





and the strong, biting wind blew the dry snow from the 
trees in such clouds that we traveled as in a snow- 
storm, the flying flakes at times shutting out the views. 
The winter forest, vested with the charm and mystery 
of the white silence, was never more beautiful as our 
sinuous course wound in and out among the trees. A 
few moments on the summit were all sufficient, and we 
were only too glad to seek the shelter of a thicket of 
snow-laden spruce, where we discussed our frozen sand- 
wiches and doughnuts. The thermometer was below 
zero all day. 

Saturday Kearsarge, Middle and Tin were climbed, 
and Spruce, Eagle, Iron and Thorn on Sunday. Through 
the week many shorter walks and sleigh-rides were 
enjoyed. 

The party returned to Boston, Monday, February 
25, or at least made the attempt so to do; but a snow- 
plough disabled at West Ossipee, causing a delay of 
several hours, the train reached Boston at 3.30 A.M., 
on Tuesday.

Thirty-five participated in the January trip to Lake 
Placid in the Adirondacks, January 10 to 18. The de- 
lightfully situated and appointed Lake Placid Club was 
the headquarters of the party, and officers and members 
of that organization vied with each other in their hos- 
pitality. 

Soon after arriving, Saturday morning, many mem- 
bers repaired to the toboggan slide, spending the morn-

ing there, while in the afternoon all participated in a 
scramble up Cobble Hill. 

Short walks about the property and a camp-fire at 
Echo Pond in the evening occupied Sunday. 

Monday being snowy, the whole party drove to John 
Brown's grave, and in the afternoon climbed Mount 
Whitney. 

On Tuesday four parties were out. Two to Mount 
Marcy, one to Mount Jo, near Adirondack Lodge, and 
a driving party. Four members of the first two parties, 
Miss Banfield and Messrs. C. A. Newhall, D. A. Har- 
rington and L. A. Wells, reached the summit of Marcy 
in the late afternoon, in spite of a severe wind and tem- 
perature 7 to 10 degrees below zero, the balance of the 
party not proceeding above tree line, some five hundred 
feet below the summit. Only one other winter ascent of 
Mount Marcy is on record. 

Wednesday trips were made about Mirror Lake and 
Club grounds, as snow fell quite continuously, there be- 
ing by this time about eighteen inches on the level. 
The snow continuing on Thursday, a drive and camp- 
fire in Wilmington Notch was in order. 

Friday an early but ineffectual start was made for 
Whiteface from Wilmington Road, but blinding snow 
and unfamiliarity with the region made a direct route 
difficult, the result being the inadvertent ascent of Cold 
Spring Mountain, a detached foot-hill. 

The party left Lake Placid Club Friday evening, 
reaching Boston Saturday afternoon. Messrs Harland 
A. Perkins and Charles A. Newhall were in charge of the 
party.

Record Notes 

The February snow-shoe excursion, as in the past 
few years, was pleasantly spent at the Iron Mountain 
House, Jackson, N. H., the main party of about fifty 
going in special cars on the morning of February 15, and 
many others joining during the week, so that the total 
attendance was eighty-one. This number was less than 
last year, but filled the house comfortably, and the over- 
crowding, which has sometimes been objectionable, was 
avoided. 

The arrival at Glen Station was in the midst of a 
driving rain, with the roads deep and almost impassable 
with slush. Cooler weather and moderate snow-falls 
remedied this difficulty, and the balance of the week 
saw superb shoeing on from fifteen to eighteen inches of 
solid snow. 

The program for the week was as follows: Sunday, 
Thorn Mountain and Morrison Cottage; Monday, 
Double Head with exciting slides down the south peak; 
Tuesday, a drive to Glen Ellis Falls and a climb to the

Boulder; Wednesday, Iron Mountain from Hayes' 
Farm, returning via the Ridge; Thursday, train to Be- 
mis and the ascent of Mount Crawford, a comparatively 
new but interesting peak for winter parties; Friday, 
Wildcat from the south, returning via Carter Notch, 
and a camp party to Prospect Farm and Hall's Ledge; 
Saturday, the twenty-second, a special train through the 
Notch to Crawford, with ascents of Mounts Clinton, 
Avalon and Willard; Sunday, the coldest day, with a 
morning temperature of 15 below, Tuckerman's Ra- 
vine. Two small parties during the week made the as- 
cent of Mount Washington, one by the Carriage Road 
and the other through Tuckerman's Ravine. The even- 
ing of Washington's Birthday was given over to the an- 
nual banquet tendered to the Club by the hotel man- 
agement, followed by dancing, to the music of the In- 
tervale Symphony Orchestra. 

The party returned to Boston Monday afternoon. 
Messrs. Harland A. Perkins and Ephraim Harrington 
were in charge.

Record Notes 

The January excursion of last year to the Adiron-

this year, with headquarters, by invitation of the Lake 
Placid Club, at their winter club houses, Forest Hall and 
Forest Towers, on Mirror Lake.

seventeen women and eighteen men, left Boston, Fri-

day afternoon, January 15, arriving at the club house 
Saturday morning in time for breakfast. The ther- 
mometer registered 18 degrees below zero when the 
party arrived. 

Saturday afternoon most of the party climbed 
Mount Whitney (Pulpit Mt.); the day was clear, with 
the thermometer near zero, and fine views were ob- 
tained, especially of the snow-white summit of Mount 
Whiteface to the north. 

Sunday and Monday, the weather conditions being 
uncertain, with occasional snow, the time was given over 
to sleigh-rides, with a tramp through the woods and a 
camp-fire lunch. 

On Tuesday a party of eleven made an early start 
for Mount Whiteface, driving over the lake to the foot 
of the mountain, and all but one reached the summit. 
Left the sleigh at 8.40 A.M., and arrived at the summit 
at 1.30 P.M. A high wind prevailing at the time, only a 
short stop was made on the summit, the party returning 
to below the tree line for lunch. Left lunch place at 
2 P.M., reached the lake at 4.30 and the club house at 
5.30 in a snow-storm. 

Wednesday being clear but windy, was given over 
to the toboggan slide and sleigh-rides. 

Thursday a party of twelve made an early start for 
Mount Marcy and reached the summit; but owing to 
heavy mist and occasional showers, no view was possi- 
ble. The path is, except at a few points, well defined 
and of a gradual rising grade until the tree-line is reached ; 
the cone, being of bare rock, presents the usual varying 
conditions. 

Another party made the trip to Mount Joe, return- 
ing in the early afternoon.

The sociability of the evenings in Tower Octagon 
was very enjoyable. Mr. Melville Dewey, president 
of the Lake Placid Club, entertained, one evening with 
an account of its history and purpose, and on two even- 
ings Mr. Van Hovenburg entertained with an historical 
sketch of Adirondack Lodge and legends of the Adiron- 
dacks. 

The party left Lake Placid Club Friday evening, 
reaching Boston the following afternoon. Messrs. 
Ephraim Harrington and Francis L. Banfield were in 
charge of the party.

Record Notes 

A party of twenty-five left Boston Friday afternoon, 
January 29, via the Boston and Albany Railroad, for 
Adams, Mass., stopping at "The Barrett," near the 
station. 

On Saturday the ascent of Mount Greylock was 
made, under the guidance of Mr. George A. Bauer, su- 
perintendent of Greylock Reservation, following the 
Harbor Trail and reaching the summit about noon, the 
leaders making the trip in less than three hours. The 
descent was made by way of the Bellows Pipe Trail. 

On Sunday a trip was made by electric car and 
sleigh to Bacon's Farm near the foot of The Hopper. A 

73 









few returned to the hotel, while the remainder enjoyed 
an easy climb up the side of The Hopper to Rocky 
Ledge, where fine views of the surrounding peaks were 
obtained. From this point the party soon reached the 
Pittsfield Trail, which was followed to its junction with 
the Harbor Trail near the summit. The return to 
Adams was made via the Harbor Trail. 

On Monday a small party went by electric car to 
Cheshire Harbor, and had a good walk over the top of 
Saddle Ball, thence down over Jones' Nose and Round's 
Rock to Cheshire. The day was clear, temperature 15 
below zero, with fine views extending from the Catskills 
and Adirondacks on the west to Monadnock and Wachu- 
sett on the east. 

The main party returned to Boston, Tuesday morn- 
ing, over the Boston and Albany Railroad via Pittsfield. 
Mr. D. A. Harrington was in charge of the party.

Record Notes 

The February snow-shoe excursion was to Jackson, 
N. H., with headquarters at the Iron Mountain House, 
from Saturday, February 20, to Monday, March 1. 
Eighty club members and friends left Boston, Saturday 
morning, on special cars attached to the regular train, 

76 



( 











and were joined by others, making a total of one hundred 
and three over Sunday and Monday. 

Monday was very favorable for the annual trip to 
Crawford Notch, one hundred persons participating. 
The main party made the ascent of Mount Clinton, 
while small parties ascended Mount Avalon, Mount 
Willard, and the Rosebrook Range, a few remaining on 
the lower level. Snow and frost-work covered the trees 
on the higher elevations; the weather was clear and cool, 
and fine views were possible in all directions. 

During the week ascents were made of the following 
mountains: Iron, Thorn, Double Head, Stan ton-Pick- 
ering, Black and Eagle, also Tuckerman's Ravine. 

All variations of weather, with the exception of a 
snow-storm, were experienced during the week, but rain 
occurred only on Wednesday. One incident of this ex- 
cursion worth recording was the unusual snow condi- 
tions. With the snow from three to six feet deep in the 
woods and on the mountain sides, snow-shoes were 
necessary only as an incidental part of the outfit. This 
was due to the number of layers of thick crust interlaid 
with a few inches of soft snow. Some persons made the 
ascent of Mount Clinton without snow-shoes, but used 
them on the way down. Snow-shoes were not needed at 
any time on the trips to Mounts Stanton-Pickering or 
Double Head. 

Owing to the fact that the holiday came early in the 
week, the size of the party was materially reduced 
towards the end of the stay, only twenty-one persons 
returning to Boston at the schedule time, Monday after- 
noon.

The annual excursion of the Snow-shoe Section for 
January this year was from the fifteenth to the twenty- 
fourth inclusive. The party was very pleasantly and 
comfortably situated at the Mount Madison House, 
Gorham, N. H. The weather conditions proved quite 
favorable, with one or two exceptions, storming a little 
Tuesday and Friday. Ascents were made of Mounts 
Hayes, Moriah, Crescent and Washington. A trip to 
the Great Gulf was included, and visits to the Glen Ellis 
Falls and Crystal Cascade. An all-day trip was made to 
Mr. Chandler's Camp near Mount Success, where the 
party partook of an excellent dinner. The party was 
also treated to a genuine lumber-camp dinner the day of 
the trip to Mount Crescent.

Record Notes 

The headquarters for the February snow-shoe ex- 
cursion of the Club was at the Iron Mountain House, 
Jackson, N. H., February 19 to 28. Owing to the in- 
creasing size of the party it was found desirable to pro- 
vide additional accommodations at Gray's Inn. The 
party left Boston on the morning of the nineteenth, oc- 
cupying four special cars which ran as a second section 
of the regular train. Favorable snow conditions, depth 
three to seven feet, with easy breaking out of trails, was 
enjoyed this year, and with the exception of two days, 
the weather conditions were satisfactory. 

Sunday no official trip was arranged, but Thorn 
Mountain was ascended by quite a number in the fore- 
noon. A small party ascended Mount Kearsarge. 

Monday, being rainy, only the more enthusiastic 
took short trips to various points. 

Tuesday the Crawford Notch trip was enjoyed 
under fair weather conditions, one hundred and six leav- 
ing Glen Station on special train. The main party as- 
cended Mount Clinton, but the unusual depth of snow 



tM

proved an added difficulty in keeping to the blazed trail, 
and only a few reached the northern summit; a larger 
number were satisfied with the south summit, as even 
near views were not possible owing to the prevailing 
thick haze. Another party took the trail for Mount 
Field, a few ascended Mount Willard, and the remainder 
stayed on the lower level. The return was made an 
hour earlier than usual, giving ample time for the en- 
joyment of the anniversary dinner and a social evening 
in the hotel parlors. 

Wednesday fifty took part in the usual camp-fire 
lunch on Black Mountain, thirty-five walking back cross- 
country in the late afternoon. 

Thursday forty-two made an early start for Tucker- 
man's Ravine. The unbroken road necessitated leaving 
the sleighs three miles south of the usual point; most of 
the party reached Hermit Lake and a few the floor of 
the Ravine. 

Friday was favorable for an enjoyable day on Mount 
Double Head by a party of thirty-two, twenty par- 
ticipating in a cross-country return in the afternoon. 

Saturday an invasion of a new country for the pur- 
pose of ascending Mount Isolation was undertaken by 
a party of eleven. Owing to the rough tote-road and 
heavy going, the last lumber camp, about two miles 
from the foot of the mountain, was not reached until 
noontime; from this point the walk into and the ascent 
of the mountain was through a park-like open forest of 
old growth, well worth the delays experienced earlier. 

Sunday was stormy, preventing any special trip 
being planned. 

Monday the forenoon was spent as usual in pack- 
ing, the return to Boston being accomplished in the late 
afternoon and early evening. One hundred and fourteen

persons arrived at Jackson with the party, one hundred

turned from Jackson with the party. The excursion was 
in charge of the Snow-shoe Committee, ably assisted by 
several members of the party in its efforts to make the 
event a success.

Record Notes 

The January excursion of the Snow-shoe Section 
was to Gorham, N. H., January 21 to 30, leaving Boston 
at 9, A.M., dining at Portland, and arriving at Gorham 
at 5.20, P.M. The party was very pleasantly and com- 
fortably located at the Mount Madison House. 

Trips were made to Mounts Hayes, Surprise and 
Moriah, the Great Gulf and Tuckerman's Ravine. 
The Ravine trip was by the Carriage Road and the Ray- 
mond Path, the return being by the Crystal Cascade 
and Glen Ellis Falls; on this day several of the party,

including the ladies, walked up the Carriage Road to 
the seventh mile-post, stopping at the Half- Way House, 
where lunch and hot coffee were served. One of the 
pleasures of the trip was the exciting ride down the four 
miles of the Carriage Road on a tandem toboggan. 
There were several camp-fire trips, cooking lunch out 
of doors, and a very enjoyable visit was made to a pri- 
vate camp near the state line, where an appetizing din- 
ner was served by the cooks of the party. The weather 
was very favorable during the excursion except on Sat- 
urday, when the party started for Carter Notch, but 
on account of a northeast snow-storm, changed the 
plans, and went to the Glen House, where our cooks pre- 
pared dinner. An interesting visit was also made to the 
Berlin pulp and paper mills.

One hundred members and guests left Boston on a 
special train, ahead of the regular morning train, for 
Intervale, on Saturday, February 18, arriving at Glen 
Station about one-half hour ahead of schedule time. 
Mild, pleasant weather and good sleighing furnished 
conditions for an enjoyable sleigh-ride to the Iron 
Mountain House at Jackson. 

A fall of about three feet of snow during the early 
part of February, followed by warm weather previous 
to our arrival, with six to eight feet of snow in the woods, 
provided favorable show-shoeing conditions. 

The weather was very uniform, without any low 
temperature, fair weather prevailing with frequent 
snow-squalls and the accompanying wind. 

Sunday was spent as usual, the majority climbing 
Thorn Mountain in the forenoon. 

Monday eighty-four of the party started for Pros- 
pect Farm and Mount Wildcat. The shoeing was slow, 
due to the hard crust on the southern slope of the moun- 
tain; but all who reached the western summit in a snow- 
squall were well repaid by the grand view of Mount 
Washington and the ravines on its broken eastern slope 
that opened out before us as the clouds lifted.

Tuesday was spent on Iron Mountain with a camp- 
fire lunch and the usual walk back over the ridge in the 
afternoon. 

Wednesday, the twenty-second, was spent in Craw- 
ford Notch, eighty-five of the party leaving Glen Sta- 
tion on a special train. Mount Clinton was climbed by 
the main party, while a few climbed Mounts Avalon 
and Willard. Squally weather prevented any good 
views being obtained. The anniversary dinner of the 
usual good quality, and well served, followed by a social 
evening, completed the day's celebration. 

On Thursday about thirty of the party started for 
Mount Double Head ; the weather conditions were un- 
favorable, but improved later, and a good view from 
the summit was enjoyed at lunch time. The party was 
broken up on the return, as usual, and some good slides 
down the southwest slope of the mountain were enjoyed 
by those who came back cross-country. 

Moat Mountain was climbed on Friday under very 
favorable conditions. The snow was in good condition, 
and snow-shoes were used to the foot of the cone, where 
creepers were put on and the summit reached in good 
time. Luncheon was eaten on the rocky shelf below 
the summit to the southeast, well protected from the 
prevailing high wind and snow-squalls, and the return 
down the mountain was made in good order, with a 
comfortable ride back to the hotel. Another party 
climbed Black Mountain on Friday, with the usual 
camp-fire lunch, some of the party not reaching the 
hotel until evening. 

Saturday was the off day this year. Thorn Hill 
was climbed in the forenoon and Eagle Mountain in the 
afternoon. Eight of our party from Gray's Inn spent 
an enjoyable day on Stanton-Pickering Mountain. 








Sunday was spent by the main party on Stanton- 
Pickering Mountain; the weather was mild, and with 
good slides on the way down, the teams were reached 
earlier than usual. The painted trail on the south slope 
of Mount Stanton was, for the first time, found and 
followed from the summit to the foot of the mountain, 
from which point an easterly course across-country was 
followed to the clearing. 

One hundred and thirty-four members and guests 
were with the party during our stay. About forty stayed 
at Gray's Inn, two at Pitman Cottage, and the remain- 
der at the Iron Mountain House. Fifty left Glen Sta- 
tion on our return Monday afternoon. 

The excursion was in charge of the Snow-shoe Com- 
mittee, who were assisted by several members of the 
party in arranging the details.
